it is taking every ounce
of every willpower that i have
to not take the afternoon off
just go downtown and look at pretty things
try on sparkly skirts i cannot afford
play with makeup and bath products at sephora and lush
try on shoes
people watch at old navy
just go wander into tourist land
maybe even ride the streetcar over to the wharf and cost plus and views of the bay
i hate being here
made even worse by the fact - that people here are nice and there is nothing 'wrong' with being here
except the prison-esque feeling of being trapped with no way out

maybe i should walk over to the grocery store and buy an apple
maybe that would help

so difficult to be inside sometimes.
it's like that here, too. we've had days of dismal skies and the sun just broke out about an hour ago and i want to run out there and catch the last of the bright yellow and orange leaves.

i want to ride around golden gate park instead of sorting mail and answering phones

too cold for boat on the lake, for me - i assume, when i get in a boat, that i will manage to get lake/ocean/whatever on me.

and i want thermos of hot chocolate with flask of whiskey, sweet pull-apart egg bread, ripe pears, ripe cheese, sitting on a bench in the sun looking at the lake and throwing bits to the ducks and the turtles!
